I made some impulse buys after getting a new scanner and picked up several batches of slides a while back from Goodwill and eBay. These pictures span from as early as the late 1940s to as late as the early 1990s. There are many thousands of these slides. I will be scanning some from time to time and posting them here mainly because I find them an interesting way to look back at the past.
I don't know a whole lot about the ultimate origins of this batch of slides other than they came from Goodwill. Like previous batches, these too often have a date stamped on them that I assume indicates when the film was developed and I believe in most cases should give approximate dating for the photograph itself. So far these seem like mostly vacation photos that were taken in the 1960s and 1970s. I've identified places in Italy, France, Mexico, and Hawaii so far.
The first photo in this set was processed in August 1966. I can't really tell where it was taken other than on the coast somewhere. However, based on other photos processed at the same time, this is probably somewhere in Mexico.
The second photo was processed in September 1966 and shows two women in front of a building. I can't be completely sure but I believe this is also in Mexico.
The third photo was processed in June 1966. Google images was able to identify this as the Basilica of San Vitale which is located in Ravenna, Italy.
The last photo was processed in September 1966. It looks like some kind of stadium. There's a sign in the background that includes the word "Universal". Other photos with this date were taken in Mexico so that would be my best guess as to a location.

The entire collection that has been scanned and uploaded so far can also be found here. This also includes higher resolution versions and versions with post processing.
